Air. Earth. Fire. Water. ...and 27,221 others. (Elemental 3 data visualization)

whoa whoa whoa! Another video about elements!

EDIT on 2021-01-04: Dave Caruso made an awesome version of this game called "Elemental 4", which does still have community interaction.
Game: https://elemental4.net/
Footage of me playing the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjHtkK5RVEU
Discord server for talking about Elemental games: https://discord.com/invite/X9VyN42

(Also, I should make it clear that I'm super supportive of anybody who wants to make a game based on Elemental 3 / 4. After all, Elemental 3 was based off of Doodle God / Alchemy! So don't worry about "stealing IPs" or anything, because derivative games are all cool. 😊Also, my Elemental 3 was made with Macromedia Flash 8 / ActionScript 2 as the frontend, and PHP/mySQL as the backend, so I think any new version of the game sadly has to be made from scratch 😞)

Google Drive with the Elemental 3 dataset files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_bQtZJ3jXWqnC2xyh4gtVQ7DSLUsmxhe?usp=sharing

The code that actually drew all of the visualization was using Processing 3.3.3.

Somebody else created a version of Elemental 3 that uses the same database to play, but doesn't have online voting/adding new elements. Check it out: http://apps.quary.cz/dc/

CORRECTIONS
At 9:06, I said "1" was the 587th element, but it's really the 568th element. Oops.

At 13:10, I talk about "raising the vote threshold". The real reason i did that was to make it significantly harder for "bad" element ideas to get on a lucky streak of upvotes by random chance, and make it into the game. The "10:00 AM dry spell can be seen in the line graph as the *second* flat area after the really steep "up-and-coming" surge.

at 16:29, that is a list of projects that random people on the internet pester me to complete. It is NOT a list of projects I'm promising any continuation of. I was just trying to prove the point that it's nearly impossible for me to satisfy everyone at once, so people should be a bit more forgiving when waiting for me to make future installments of those series. I had originally included more sentences earlier on that gave more context about what that list meant, but I cut them out because I wanted to be concise: "Don't bore us, get to the chorus". However, it seems like that backfired, because people saw that list and ran with it that I was promising all these videos now? Communication with the internet sure is difficult!
